55We had a wonderful experience! The space was clean, secure, and exactly what we were hoping for. My dog loved running freely and exploring every corner. It was peaceful and private—perfect for reactive dogs like mine who need a calm environment. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!Camila A.

55Kevin is a very welcoming host, and contacted me immediately upon reserving his stop. The yard was great and the dogs really enjoyed the many scents. First time for me using a spot for my dog, and this was the right one. Chad S.

55Kevin has a perfect Sniff Spot for our GSP who loved running in the large fenced in area. We enjoyed the wooded area for some recall training and the large backyard for throwing the ball. Our boy left exhausted!Laurie M.

55What a fun place to be! The wooded area in the back is particularly well built and cared for. Fun paths and spots at the bases of huge trees…enjoyed by both human and dog. Kevin was proactive welcoming me via the app, and provided a tip on where to park. A great big space for my big pup absolutely worth the trip from the city. Chrissy B.

55Very easy to access and the space is very large and perfect for my dog reactive pup. There was a hose for water and I brought his favorite toy so he could run. We will definitely be back! Athena A.

55An excellent fully fenced-in option with small wooded spots to explore. You can see some people going in and out across a large street street to the back of the property, but my reactive dog disengaged pretty easily at that distance. My dog had a great time and everything was exactly as described in the listing! Jennifer D.

55Loved this spot! Lots of places for my dog to explore and get her sniffs in. There’s some pockets of trees and under brush to run around in.
Parking was convenient and the trash is right inside the fence. It was nice to have a few spots for the humans to sit and watch the action from the porch.
If your dog is under 20lbs be aware that there’s a small hole dug under the fence in the far left corner, behind the trees (as of Jan 2025). My dog is 15lbs and was able to fit her head through it. Ruth Y.

55It was a great space for my dog to run! The little wooded area was a nice little sniffing spot for her but for the most part she just ran around the open space! We did see one dog but it was across the big street and at the part of the fence that was fairly blocked off (viewing wise) and past the wooded area, the space was big enough that I was able to call my dog over so she wouldn't get fixated. The other dog also didn't make any noises and I think was just out for less than a minute so it wasn't too bad for my reactive dog! Overall we both loved this space and would definitely recommend!

55We had a blast in this awesome well-maintained yard. I’m always nervous with dogs off leash near a busy road, but the fencing is great and has some screening along 59. We felt safe and Tig was in heaven exploring and zooming around. Thank you. Kit E.

55Large, spacious, clean yard with fence. The fence might not keep small dogs in but we had no issues. The yard is near a busy road but my puppy didn’t mind the noise at all. Dogs are able to get under the deck but I was able to recall my puppy back. The tree-lined path in the back of the yard was lovely. My puppy had a great time!Nikita K.

FAQ About Wauconda Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 7% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Wauconda area are 5 stars.
